c and cpp living together?

Question

Hello forum,

I am working on a project using c and c++ code with eCos. I notice that eCos is written mainly in c++, but many other components in my system is written with c. This leads me to suspect that mixing c and c++ works OK if you know how. I have no trouble running an example project written in c, but when I start to incorporate cxx code files, things start to look bad.

Before someone says, 'post to the eCos forum', my question is more fundamental - how do you go about mixing c and cxx code in the context of gcc and the NiosII IDE?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi,

You can find much info from google.com.cn by using key words "mixing C and C++".

when using C++ style function in *.c file, you'll need to do a "C"-style function in the CPP file in order to to link it.

e.g. in CPP

extern "C" void CreateForm (void)

{

Form *frm = new Form();

}

then in main.c

extern void CreateForm (void);

int main ()

{

CreateForm ()

}

FYI.

They can life together well. Just make sure that all C++ is in a .cpp file. The compiler uses the file extention to change its mode
